Clinical and Technical Features

• Optimal humidification: The Pall BB100 maintains humidification performance even at high tidal volumes. Performance is comparable to hot water bath systems.^1,2,3 Rheologic and physical properties of patient airway mucus are preserved and physiological mucus clearance is maintained.⁴ The Pall BB100 can be used in anaesthesia and intensive care for short/long term ventilation. 
• Compatible with nebulisation: Medication can be nebulised between the patient and the filter.
• Effective hydrophobic barrier: The Pall pleated hydrophobic membrane provides effective protection against potential contamination by airborne and liquidborne micro-organisms.^5,6,7 This can reduce the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in long term ventilation.⁸ The Pall filter is specifically validated to remove Hepatitis C virus⁶, HIV⁸, Mycobacterium tuberculosis⁵ and Staphylococcus aureus¹⁰. All Pall Breathing System Filters contain the proprietary Pall fine hydrophobic filter medium, which has been tested in manufacturing to show a water intrusion pressure (hydrophobicity) in excess of 50 cm water column. Routine use of the Pall BB100 will protect the interior of the breathing system from patient derived contamination, allowing extended use of the breathing system in conjunction with a hospital protocol that ensures hygienic and mechanical integrity of the system. Please refer to your breathing system manufacturer for information on whether the system being used has been validated for extended use.
• Latex safety: The Pall BB100 is free of natural rubber latex. Pall Breathing System Filters have been tested to retain natural rubber latex allergens in liquids and contained in airborne particles.^11,12
• Low resistance: Unique pleated hydrophobic membrane assures low air flow resistance throughout clinical use.

Pall Total Quality

• Filter integrity test: Each Breathing System Filter is integrity tested to assure housing and seal quality. Filtration
• Efficiency test: Each Breathing System Filter is individually tested during manufacture to confirm filtration efficiency by a non destructive test.
• Product validation certificate: Pall Medical provides a unique validation certificate with the Pall filter, giving assured protection of breathing systems, equipment, patients and staff.
